This poem is chock full of end-line rhyme, internal rhyme, end-line assonance and consonance, and alliteration, all seamlessly woven into the overall poetic scheme. The conceit--Aristotle as a lizard--evokes images of eyes that move independently in all directions--as a result, the see-er becomes a seer, as Aristotle was.
